The Qarai Turks in Hormozgan and Kerman (General Staff, 1923)

Karai



A nomad tribe of flock-owners, living in summer round Chah Haq and in the Sarchahan valley, and in winter moving a long way down the road towards Bandar Abbas. They do a certain amount of robbery. Their tents number about 1,000. The men are no fighters and have a reputation for bringing bad luck and defeat to any force they are with.
